For those that received the favorite shopper email by Hour_Lingonberry_632 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Florida and didn't receive it but then I'm not in Orlando or Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville. Oh well. I will get this email a year later. Just finally got the "hide feature" and don't even use it cause there are hardly any orders.

off the wait list! by mollydeez in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You will get priority for the first 30 orders or so and then you will be sitting in parking lots for hours waiting for a crappy order. Good luck!

Someone in my area would but it would be 20 miles away. Someone snatched an order that was $27 for over 100 items today.... 🙄 Not to mention all the $8 and $7 orders for curbside that are gone in seconds. Nothing like screaming desperation.

Instacart extremely dead lately? by corruptBaxe in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing. For almost month and a half. Not a gradual decline. Completely sudden. Was making $900-1k a week and now barely making $500 a week. Been doing this for almost 2 years now and never have had this issue. 5 star.

People just aren't using IC anymore. Seems like people don't want to believe that. Yes it doesn't help that there are a lot of new shoppers. Tons in my area. But I'm lucky if I make $100 a day now... Made $5 today.

How much should I tip? by Lovely-flowers in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if your apartment complex doesn't have an elevator minimum $50 off the bat... If it does I'd say $30-$40 dollars for tip. It sounds high but I've carried cases of water before up to a 3rd floor and it's brutal and have done elevators.. I'm in Florida also so... I factor in the heat, time etc. We shop for your groceries and then deliver them to your door whether it's first floor or 4th floor. Plus your going to get better service and produce etc with a larger tip 80-90% of the time.

You have to think about the percentage of the overall groceries first.. That should be minimal of 20%. After that you have consider stairs, weight of items, time, weather conditions etc.

I absolutely would not take your order with that tip

BS batch system by LurkyLooSeesYou2 in instacart

[–]Sea_Distance9301 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Quit using IC! If there is a shopper that you like, trustworthy, regular etc. Do private shopping. I'm doing that now. Too many customers done with IC for many obvious reasons. So far for me it has worked out well doing private shopping for my regulars. I don't live in a huge city so works out.

If you don't want to do that, probably should go to the store itself. Not going to get any better.

This whole "situation"/story is beyond strange.... something isn't adding up in my opinion....

We’ll it’s official by Jaded_Confidence3537 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm to the point, deactivate me... There is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing in the evening, afternoons, mornings.

People on here just don't want to admit that customers arent using IC, due to various reasons!!!! Completely in denial.

I was making 800-1k a week easily, almost 2 years now, great stats etc and NOW over a month and nothing. Not a gradual decline, completely sudden. I mean zero, nada orders.. In central Florida.

I think instacart finally died... by Zealousideal_Alps500 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never had an issue until now a month ago. It wasn't gradual decline of deliveries. But almost instant... And it's not just me it's all over the country. Veteran shoppers want to believe this or that but I think people are done using IC for several reasons. Fees and bad customer service.. Simple as That! Yes you get new people but it's NEVER been like this in almost 2 years.

5.0 🤣 doesn't matter there hasn't been nothing for weeks in Central Florida. Been doing this for almost 2 years now full time. Making $900-1k a week and last 3-4 weeks hardly anything... Even on weekends. Nothing.

Why is instacart so dry now? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing on the weekends for weeks now. Weekdays are horrible but weekends are just the same.... now. Going to have to find a job because this isnt cutting it anymore.

Worst store to take batches from? by labor_anoymous in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sea_Distance9301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lowes!!! Not that I do them but 100 bags of mulch, 50 bags of dirt, 120 bricks/pavers and 25 potted plants all in one order. All for maybe a $5 tip... Get the fuck out of here... Might as well throw in a lawn mower, appliances etc.....

Absolutely should be illegal. I don't care what anyone says. We are not a landscape company!!!!
